How to Use Gnar Counter Data
Need dependable Gnar counter data? The matchups below are drawn directly from recent ranked Top lane games, not from tier-list opinions. Anivia, Cassiopeia, and Malphite give Gnar the most trouble right now, with his lowest win rates in the current sample. Anivia is the hardest of them: Gnar takes only 38.2% of 170 recorded games against her. Going the other way, Gnar does well against Trundle, Zaahen, and Lissandra, so those are safer matchups for him.
Every card lists Gnar’s win rate and the sample size behind it. A matchup backed by tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags come from the win rate itself: under 48% is labeled Hard, over 52% is labeled Easy. They help with reading the numbers and are not a separate statistic. The data covers Emerald and higher ranked games from every region on patch 16.13.1, and it updates every 48 hours, so it shifts as the meta does. For the best items and runes, see the current Gnar build. For abilities and full champion details, visit the Gnar champion page.
